When ^Eschines said, "I am a poor man, and have nothing else, but I give you myself;"
Sivu 272 - It was Pythagoras also who carried geometry to perfection, after Mesris had first found out the principles of the elements of that science, as Aristiclides tells us in the second book of his History of Alexander ; and the part of the science to which Pythagoras applied himself above all others was arithmetic.
